A&E Reports Dog the Bounty Hunter Awaits New Appeal  8/4/07

As reported, on July 30th, the First Criminal Court in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico dismissed all criminal charges pending against Dog, Tim and Leland Chapman on the grounds that the statute of limitations had expired. 

However, A&E has learned that Dog and his Posse are not in the clear quite yet. Although the cancellation of the warrant still stands, an appeal was filed by the prosecution to overturn the lower court’s decision. 

A&E has been told that in Mexico, rulings against the prosecution are generally appealed as a matter of principle. In the meantime, our thoughts and best wishes are with the Chapman family as they await the outcome of the appeal which could take many months.
